I haven’t lived in Brazil for 10 years, so maybe it’s different from what I remember.

You might get the difference back when you filed taxes? I’m pretty sure my payslips discounted 27.5% though.

And yeah, I also miss 27.5% tax. Ireland’s 52% marginal tax rate makes me sad every time.

OTOH, we don't have to walk through someone's living room when going to work, or buy candy from kids on traffic lights.

Equality has a price I'm more than happy to pay. I still remember how rare a sight kids selling candy on traffic lights was in the mid 2000's and it crushes my soul to see that again when I visit my family down there.

It was always progressive. A lot of people think it isn't and I have no idea where that came from. You probably misinterpreted your _holerites_ back then.
